Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Electrocardiograms (ECG) [10 weeks]
Assess any ECG QT interval changes during standard HyBryte photodynamic therapy.
- Systemic Blood Levels [10 weeks]
Assess the systemic blood levels of hypericin during standard HyBryte photodynamic therapy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events [10 weeks]
Assess the number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by severity grade (Mild, Moderate, Severe) during standard HyBryte photodynamic therapy.
